The World Series Broadcast: Another So-So Effort By FOX

Once the pregame chatter was out of the way, John Buck and Tim McCarver settled in for what figured to be another great night of baseball.

It didn’t take long for the broadcast to hit a snag.

Despite a replay angle clearly showing Rangers’ first baseman Mitch Moreland’s foot was off the bag after he fielded a throw from Ian Kinsler, McCarver said he was unable to tell if Freddy Sanchez should have been called safe.

It seemed fairly obvious the call was missed, but in the end there was no damage done.

Later, field reporter Ken Roesenthal provided a report about the dedication of the Giants’ fans.

It was difficult to take him seriously thanks to an atrocious purple bowtie.

On the plus side, Rosenthal conducted a solid postgame interview with Matt Cain and Edgar Renteria.
